FR Clothing & Accessories

A complete set of FR clothing includes protective layers from head to toe, typically an FR-rated hoodie or FR- long-sleeve base layer, pants or FR jeans, a coverall, and outerwear like vests or jackets. Accessories such as FR balaclavas or gloves provide added coverage for high-exposure zones like the neck, head, and hands. For compliant, Canadian-tested options, explore Protective Clothing for full-body protection.

Choose pieces that meet recognized safety standards such as NFPA 2112, CSA Z462, or CGSB 155.20 to ensure certified flame resistance. Look for garments made with fire-retardant treated cotton or inherent FR fabrics, as well as design features like durable stitching, moisture-wicking linings, and reinforced seams. For proven compliance, IFR Workwear offers a wide range of certified flame resistant clothing in Canada.

Yes. It’s safe to mix brands as long as each item meets the same FR standard. For example, pairing an IFR Workwear hoodie with FR-rated pants from another brand is fine, provided both garments are certified under the same performance category. Always confirm tags and certification labels before layering to maintain compliance.

FR accessories like hoodies, long sleeves, and balaclavas can be safely layered under insulated gear without compromising protection. For winter conditions, pair your base layers with insulated outerwear from our Winter Workwear line to maintain both warmth and flame resistance across harsh Canadian climates. For visibility in low-light conditions, layer with certified High-Visibility Clothing designed for compliance and performance. 

Wash FR garments separately using mild detergent and cold or warm water. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and high-heat drying, which can weaken FR treatments. Regular inspection for wear and tear helps ensure ongoing protection. Proper care keeps flame retardant clothing effective for the long term, reducing replacement costs while preserving compliance.
